The Writing on the Wall

Ava has no choice but to be a tom boy with most of her day spent playing trucks and cars!  I love this shirt, we had the same one for her when she was 18 months old.  This one is size 4T, and was a hand-me-down.  But I love thinking about my sweet little toddler girl.

 

 

 

Now that Carter has learned to write using invented spellings, there are cute little notes floating all around our house. On the day of the Super Bowl Carter made a survey. He wrote the words "49niders" and the "Rafins" on a peice of paper and took a survey of everyone to see which team they thought would win. He even used tally marks correctly! But instead of keeping a thousand little scraps of paper I decided to put some of my favorite notes on the blog so I could look back and remember them.

 

This appeared on our fridge today:  I love Ava Mom Dad

 

Sorry Dawson, he is working on learning your name.

I found this note in the toy room and asked him to read it to me.  Apparently he thought Ava was missing, but then he found her.  So he wrote Ava has been found.  I didn't even realize she was missing!

 

Carter has asked me repeatedly why we don't have a canoe.  Today he told me he wanted to write a book about giving a bear a pancake.  Then he said "Then we can sell the book and buy a canoe!"  My little entrepreneur.  Although I think there might be one particular author who would not be happy with his idea of a book about giving a bear a pancake!
